#4810: Weird screen sizes reported by Panopticlick

When I go to https://panopticlick.eff.org/index.php with TorButton
(1.4.5.1) Panopticlick reports (among other things):
{{{
Screen Size and Color Depth 1150x600x24
bits of identifying information 14.67
one in x browsers have this value 26138.95
}}}
but if I go without TorButton it reports:
{{{
Screen Size and Color Depth 1280x800x24
bits of identifying information 3.9
one in x browsers have this value 14.94
}}}
I would suggest that the default settings for the non TorButton report are
far more anonymous than the TorButton report.
I would suggest changing TorButton to use the default screen size and
resolution rather than a modified version.
I have already started work on this.
